Kyle Busch opted for two tires on the final pit stop with less than 13 laps remaining in Saturday’s Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Auto Club Speedway and was able to hold off Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick to win his third straight NNS race.

For the second time in as many visits to Bristol Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch managed to win every race.

The last time NASCAR was at the Bristol Motor Speedway, back in August of 2010, it was the Kyle Busch show as he swept all three top series races in the same weekend.

Carl Edwards was fastest in the first practice session on Friday and backup it up by capturing the pole for Sunday’s Jeff Byrd 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway with a lap of 128.014mph.

Even with a restart with less than five laps to go, no one could catch the 18 of Kahne and he would go on to capture the win. It was the third straight race that a driver not running for points in the CWTS has won.

Kasey Kahne wins the Too Tough To Tame 200. In his four truck starts, he has three wins a second place finish.

On the final round of pit stops under green, Carl Edwards took two tires and that was the call of the race as he went on to win Sunday's Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The race lasted for three hours. We saw 22 lead changes among 15 leaders. 22 drivers finished on the lead lap.

Mark Martin, driving the No. 32 Dollar General for Turner Motorsports for the first time, not only was lucky with his fuel mileage but also took advantage of the bad luck of Brad Keselowski.

Jeff Gordon dominated Sunday’s Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway by leading 138 of the 312 laps run. This was Gordon’s first Sprint Cup Series win since April 5, 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway.
